Beyond Nuclear has created the following pamphlets to inform the public, lawmakers and media about nuclear power and nuclear weapons issues. Please feel free to reproduce and distribute with attribution. You may also request hardcopies from Beyond Nuclear and we will send them to you through regular mail.

In March 2017, Beyond Nuclear conducted two workshops at the Green Nuclear-Free Wales conference for activists in Aberystwyth. The workshops were titled “Framing the anti-nuclear message using Welsh values.” We ran through some exercises together to reframe our messages using terms and imagery that we felt would resonate with the audiences we need to convince to oppose new nuclear build in Wales. We also identified messengers we thought would be most trusted by our target audiences. Finally, we discussed communication tools. This handbook was produced to reflect that work, to serve as a guide and to provide exercises for messaging and framing as the campaigns continue. Please feel free to download, print and distribute copies.

Routine Radioactive Releases from U.S. Nuclear Power Plants. An update to our comprehensive list and map of all operating U.S. reactors and where they release radioactivity into the air and water. Every nuclear power reactor dumps radioactive water, scatters radioactive particles, and disperses radioactive gases as part of its routine, everyday operation. It doesn't take an accident. Federal regulations permit these radioactive releases. Any exposure to radiation increases the risk of damage to tissues, cells, DNA, and other vital molecules, potentially causing genetic mutations, cancers, leukemias, birth defects, and reproductive, cardiovascular, endocribe, and immune system disorders.

The pamphlet lists all reactors operating at the October 2015 press time. For an up to date track of reactors as they close, please visit our Reactors Are Closing page.

Click the headline to read and download/print our handy palm card detailing the risks to the most vulnerable -- pregnant women and young children -- from the routine operations of, and radioactive releases from, nuclear power plants. Please feel free to use this palm card as a handout.

Nuclear Power and Children. A definitive look at the vulnerability of children's health to radiation exposure from nuclear power reactors.

Updated! Routine Radioactive Releases from U.S. Nuclear Power Plants.Many people do not realize that every nuclear power reactor dumps radioactive water, scatters radioactive particles, and disperses radioactive gases as part of its routine, everyday operation. It doesn't take an accident. Federal regulations permit these radioactive releases.

Uranium Mining and Human RightsA pamphlet describing the human rights impacts on those communities on whose land uranium mines have been imposed - largely consisting worldwide of indigenous peoples. Revised and updated July 2013.

Freeze our Fukushimas!Join the campaign to shut down US reactors beginning with the most dangerous - the GE Mark I and Mark II boiling water reactors - the same design we saw explode at Fukishima Daiichi, Japan. The pamphlet lists the US Mark I and Mark II reactors, details the troubled history of the reactor and the life-threatening flaws in these designs.

An Introduction to Beyond Nuclear. This is our introductory pamphlet featuring our mission and goals and an overview of our work. The inside now incorporates the former Ten Reasons palm card which has been updated and revised. This lists 10 of the most serious nuclear power risks and 10 of the brighter energy alternatives.

Ralph Nader says "Just recently, a well-desinged and documented pamphlet by Beyond Nuclear summarizes the case against nuclear power as 'Expensive, Dangerous and Dirty.' The clear, precise detail and documentation makes for expeditious education of your friends, neighbors and co-workers."

Historically, reactors have received more subsidies than sustainable energy and in order to build more, the industry will need further money from taxpayers. This costs pamphlet summarizes this need and how we can stop our money from continuing down this nuclear power black hole.

France's nuclear power industry is often touted as the nuclear program to emulate. This pamphlet reveals the problems plaguing the industry in France including radioactive waste problems and predatory uranium mining.

"During my eight years in the White House, every nuclear weapons issue we dealt with was connected to a nuclear reactor program." Al Gore. This pamphlet reviews the dangers of nuclear fuel reprocessing including the health dangers, waste issues and the inevitable link to nuclear weapons. To print pamphlet, choose letter or legal size.

This booklet highlights the program areas which were the center of Beyond Nuclear's work at its inception. This piece is no longer in print and some of the areas of focus have since shifted to new projects.
